Bay to Breakers
Well! I walked a Bay-to-Breakers equivalent distance, which ended up following the actual BtB route about halfway. I got out there late enough that it had basically dissolved into a drunken ramble through Golden Gate Park (plus a rave off in the grove, for people who had given up on "racing" entirely). I even ran partway back! It was a good experience.
Today I started my low-carb diet experiment. I expected to feel shaky and tense, the way I do when I go too long without eating. Instead I spent most of the day feeling foggy but also kind of giddy. I guess that the experience I always identified as "low blood sugar" was actually low blood sugar combined with hunger. Whereas now, my brain is sputtering due to lack of glucose but it's against a background of general cheerfulness due to being full of delicious fat.
